Snapdragon 720G runs things here, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that you can expand further with a microSD card. It's a mid-range chipset, not a gaming beast, but it handles everyday apps and multitasking fine. The 6.44-inch AMOLED screen backs it up with HDR10 support and a sharp 409ppi density, so contrast and colour look good for streaming or scrolling.

On the camera side, the 64MP main sensor is joined by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens, plus a 44MP front camera for selfies with autofocus. Video tops out at 4K30 on both ends. Battery capacity sits at 4000mAh, and vivo's 33W fast charging claims 66% in half an hour, useful if you're often topping up on the go.

vivo V21e price in Malaysia starts from RM889, putting it in the budget-to-mid segment. There's no NFC here, which matters if you rely on contactless payments, but you do get a 3.5mm jack with 24-bit/192kHz audio support and an under-display fingerprint sensor.
